Biography
Brasher Falls - Allen O. Griffin, 81, passed away Tuesday night at the St. Regis Nursing Home, with his devoted family at his side. Arrangements are entrusted with the Hammill Funeral Home, Winthrop.
Allen was born August 1, 1930 the son of the late Osburn & Pauline (Burns) Griffin, and was educated locally. He married Phyllis Rafter October of 1960, and began their family. For twenty-two years Allen was employed as a laborer with the Weetabix Cereal Company, Clinton Mass. Following his retirement in 1992, he relocated back to the North Country.
Allen's days were brightened by the beauty of the outdoors; whether he was taking a long walk, doing some yard work, or just tinkering around on some cars or lawnmowers, you could always find him enjoying some fresh air.
He is survived by his wife, Phyllis, his children; Robert & Sharon Griffin of Brasher Falls, and Pauline Cardinal of Potsdam, eight grandchildren, eight great grand children, one brother Frank Griffin of Moira, and Rita Wilson of Trout River. A son Francis who entered in to rest November of 1987, as well as three brothers Benjamin, Dwight and George predeceased him.

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times.

As I read the obituary for Mr. Griffin, I was truly impressed by the outstanding and full life he lived. Never-the-less, 81 years of life is still much too short. How thankful we are that our grand Creator, Jehovah plans to restore his original purpose and make it possible for all mankind (including our loved ones we have lost in death) to live forever under perfect conditions. (Matthew 6:10; Job 14:14 & 15). Please accept our condolences as you deal with the loss of Mr. Griffin and contemplate the hope of seeing him once again.
